Demonstration of laccase in the white rot
basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F1767.
The brown rot
basidiomycetes cause the most destructive type of wood decay and are important contributors to biomass recycling.
commune, may lead microbiologists and clinicians to consider it as a contaminant without importance, although the
basidiomycetes must be kept present as potential pathogens.
Estos hongos pertenecen a la clase
basidiomycetes, pero tambien han sido reportados Ascomycetes y Levaduras (Milstein et al.
Many of the specimens she analyzed turned out to be
basidiomycetes, a group of higher fungi that have gills.
Transformations leading to t he evolution of this unusual
basidiomycete probably involved a shift from terrestrial to periodically immersed to fully submerged substrates, loss of ballistospory, and evolution of appendaged spores and an enclosed fruiting body.
The African subfamily Macrotermitinae has also evolved a symbiosis with a
basidiomycete fungus (Termitomyces).
For example, Nantel and Neumann (1992) found that the ectomycorrhizal
Basidiomycete associates of a particular tree species were associated with that tree species over only a portion of its distribution.
The literature reports scantily the enzymatic activity of
basidiomycete genera, focusing on soil (and not endophytic) strains that produce enzymes as lacease, peroxygenase and peroxidase (Arora & Gil, 2005; Schuckel, Matura, & Van Pee, 2011; Jarvinen, Taskila, Isomaki, & Ojamo, 2012; Yarman et al., 2012).
